Gorghi Tondi Italian Red
Organic Sicilian reds from the salt coast of Mazara del Vallo.
The story behind Gorghi Tondi
Tenuta Gorghi Tondi sits in southwestern Sicily, near Mazara del Vallo in Trapani province, and a good part of its 115 hectares lies inside the WWF protected Lago Preola and Gorghi Tondi Nature Reserve. Michele Sala and Doretta Tumbarello founded the modern estate in 2000, though the family had grown grapes here since the early 20th century. Daughters Annamaria and Clara Sala run it now.
The vines are low, on limestone and sand, close enough to the Mediterranean that you taste the salt in the fruit. The estate went fully organic, Euroleaf certified, in 2016. Reds lean on Nero d'Avola, Frappato and Perricone, with small parcels of Syrah and Merlot. Stainless steel keeps the varietal edge; the premium tiers see long maceration and large French oak.
